Husky Logo #64

woo!

Today we are saying a very special woo to the Huskies of Monadnock Regional High School. I couldn't find any graphic huskies on their website, so I have used the picture of the red husky on their home page.

Here's where it gets exciting, though. They call their yearbook the Pandorian. Yep, they named their yearbook after my Great X 8 Grandfather Pando. He was the official mascot of the school.

One of the most important kennels in Siberian husky history was the Monadnock Kennels, and G8 Grandpa Pando was one of the most influential Siberian huskies for the development of the breed. He won 4 Specialty shows and 5 consecutive Best of Breeds at Westminster from 1957 to 1961. He also produced many puppies who went on to also be champions. Many of his pups also grew up to look a lot like him.

I read a stupid article entitled Obama Related to Pitt, Clinton to Jolie. The human who wrote the article points out that both Mr. Obama & Mrs. Clinton are very, very distantly related to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. That would definitely help them be able to have the skill sets to be President.

Well, I can play that game too! I was examining my family tree on a website called PawVillage. My Great X 8 Grandfather is a Siberian husky named Pando (I will discuss him more tomorrow). My Great X 15 Grandfather is the world famous Togo.

Togo is arguably one of the most important Siberian huskies in history. Click on his name if you want to read about him. I think he gave more to society than Mr. Pitt or Ms. Jolie. I'd like to see those humans lead a sled across Alaska to save other humans!
